[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still have a ton of hair although the texture has changed since menopause. I wear it super short now because I cannot be arsed with hair styling, makeup, and of that crap anymore. I wash my face with very good retinol soap and apply moisturizer and use a tiny bit of eyeliner and an eyelash curler and lip gloss and that is all I can be arsed to do.

It makes me laugh now and again because my mother always wanted me in short hair (it suits my face) and I always wanted it longer my whole childhood so I wore it long for years after I came under my own control. It’s ironic that once I came entirely under my own control - free of biological reproductive urges - I was happy to embrace a haircut so short that my entire styling regime is one minute of rubbing in some bed head type styling produce and letting it dry however it wants.

Every day that I am post menopausal I love my body and face more than ever before. [/quote]

Love this. I suspect the "cannot be arsed" is a huge factor. I wore my hair in a pixie for several years after having each kid in my 30s because even a bob required daily styling, whereas the pixie was wash and go and generally looked good with zero effort.

I've been trying to grow it out for over a year,  since I felt like age and a bit of weight gain were making it look less "edgy" and more "frumpy." It's curly, but I don't have the time or interest to brush style every curl and diffuse dry, so I always feel a bit messy and not put together. My hair has always been too fine to grow much past my collarbones, so I've never been a luscious long haired youth, but I suspect next time I get sick of this and cut it off...that'll be it for me, short hair forever!
